This was because there were high expectations when Nigeria gained Independence that the country would be great.
The elder statesman added that the failure of Nigeria should not be attributed to God but to poor decisions to live to its greatness.
He also bemoaned the current situation of things in Nigeria.
According to him, during the time of James Earl Carter (Jimmy Carter) as the President of the USA, there was no period he had anything to do in Africa that he would not inform Nigeria. He, however, regretted that respect for Nigeria has gone.
For the 2023 general elections, Obasanjo asked Nigerians to ensure that the right lessons are learnt before time.
He said:
“So, I believe that the right lessons must be learned. We have all we need to have. God gave us all we need to have. That we are not doing what we need to do, God is not to blame. We should blame ourselves.”
